Goes down to $2441 if you book using vacation package deal (i.e. Expedia) and just do 1 night in a throwaway hostel.

If my math is right it only takes 3 of these to earn around 98k EQM and enough EQD for AA EXP. Not a bad deal at all.

Incredible deal for AS or OW status. The HKG CX Lounge also has that amazing private villa.

Great deal on a phenomenal airline. Combined with the QR CMB-PHL fare you can basically take two trips to the Indian subcontinent in J from the US for $3600 total.

So excited that my fellow FT-ers are finding value in this! I've been looking for great deals to Male for months (headed to my honeymoon on June 25), and finally came across this. Enjoy the awesome HKG lounges, the great hard + soft product, and all of the miles that come with it. Cheers!

Awesome!
I wasn't fast enough to get Memorial Day dates (5/24 - 5/30). After selecting flights the price jumped to 24K for 2 pax. Shifting the dates forward worked. I've been flying the Europe/US deals on here for awhile. Such a great deal to expand my horizons!

Thanks, hoping it lasts for a while. Surely less tiring than ex-JNB. Good for CX status too.

Also, for those of you with MR points this fare also allows upgrades to First class for the ORD flights for 105k roundtrip.

Closer to $4000 I would say. The CMB/PHL fare is now about $1500 unless someone has discovered a new promo code to reduce it. Also the CMB/PHL fare has a one month max stay so your two trips will have to be close together
